The sale must be approved by a bankruptcy judge. Proceeds will go to paying down the $1.5 billion debt that Jones owes families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims who won two defamation suits against him.

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones speaks outside the federal courthouse after a June bankruptcy hearing in Houston.Alex Jones' media empire has been sold at auction, and the winner is The Onion. No Joke.

The sale, which still needs to be approved by a bankruptcy court, includes Jones' studio equipment, his lucrative online nutritional supplement store, domain names, customer lists and some of Jones' social media accounts, though not his X account."We're going out like vikings with swords in our arms," he said. He's accusing the auction house of rigging rules against him to benefit the families.

Jones was hoping a bidder ideologically aligned with him would have bought Infowars and hired him back to keep doing his show. He characterized it as a contest between the"good guys" and"the bad guys" who would leave him out of his job. Jones vowed days ago that he won't miss a beat behind the mic; he said he's received multiple offers to host his show and that he had a backup studio ready earlier this week."Infowars is stronger than ever," Jones said.

Jones also pitched his line of vitamins and nutrition supplements, which comprise a significant chunk of his revenues. He's now selling those on a separate website owned by his father – a move families' attorneys are challenging in court, accusing Jones of setting it up as a shell company to shield his revenues from families.
